The Eastern Partnership Summit opens today in Warsaw. The ENPI Info Centre has prepared an Information Pack highlighting the achievements of this Partnership that completes the EU’s foreign policy towards Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine as a specific Eastern dimension of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).“The Eastern Partnership has established itself as an important initiative that will help to shape the future of our continent,” European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Štefan Füle said earlier this year. “We still have a long way to go to realise our common goals. Success will depend upon the efforts and commitments of both sides and all of the various actors involved.”
Since its launch in 2009, the Eastern Partnership has gone a long way in shaping the agenda of cooperation between the EU and its Eastern Neighbours and providing a solid framework for sharing expertise and best practices. The initiative has given rise to new platforms for dialogue at the government and expert level, as well as in the fields of parliamentary and participatory democracy.
The information pack, available in English and in Russian, highlights all these elements and provide useful links for further information. The ENPI Info Centre has also produced a video, highlighting the main thematic priorities of the Eastern Partnership.
